Adults aged 7584 had the highest rate of death related to long COVID (28. 8%). These findings suggest many of these people died with long COVID, rather than from the condition. The answer is not so simple. How could long COVID lead to death?Theres still a lot we dont understand about what causes long COVID. But is death beyond the acute phase of infection from one of these causes the direct result of COVID, long COVID, or something else? Recent research suggests a reservoir of SARS-CoV-2 proteins in the blood might explain why some people experience ongoing symptoms. We know a serious COVID infection can damage multiple organs. A popular theory is that zombie virus fragments may linger in the body and cause inflammation even after the virus has gone, resulting in long-term health problems. But can you die from long COVID?
